This is a great hote and great location. Only thing I would like is a direct communication with the actual host who owns the property as it’s not as easy as picking up the phone and connecting. The hotel will only help to an extent but but full exclusive as it would be booking directly with the hotel. Overall still a great place to stay with a great view

We encountered a major problem upon our 6P check-in. Due to the absence of an important document which is required and must be submitted by Lei Hawaii Realty prior to guest arrival, we were unable to access the property. Calls were made to Lei Hawaii Realty but since it was past office hours, we were directed to voicemail. This issue has been a recurring problem according to hotel personnel so let this be a warning to those considering this in the future to make sure they will not be adversely affected by this irritating issue as well. With no guarantee of immediate resolution, we reluctantly made a reservation for the night (extra expense) with hopes to resolve during office hours the following day. Fortunately, we simply stored our unpacked bags and left the room intact while we sought nourishment, hoping for a surprise response from Lei Realty. Upon return to the room at 9P, we received the miracle email which eventually gained us access to the condominium, allowing us the ability to cancel the emergency room reservation w/o penalty. Fortunately, we had purchased insurance so if push came to shove, I'm confident we would have prevailed. Anyone wishing to make future reservations with Lei Hawaii Realty may want to consider this for their peace of mind. I personally will avoid commerce with them in my future travel plans. Lei Hawaii Realty Needs to get their act together! I invite them to respond to this critique. Having been in Hawaii multiple times since 1984, we knew what we weregetting property-wise, so this unit fit all our requirements satisfactorily. We thank the OWNER for providing us a nice place to stay!

Could use more in way of dishes and towels but we made it work. I know we could call owner for more but what fun is that. At first tv wouldn't work but got figured out. I would stay again. Ocean view is awesome

On the positive side, the beds were comfortable, balcony with view wonderful, and location (with easy access to Ala Moana Mall) terrific. Drawbacks include: insufficient amount of soap (we had to buy bars) and shampoo, dirty and wet towel left under the sink, and the parking under the hotel while very convenient was also expensive. Overall, we are happy about our stay.

The unit is in a great location & had an awesome view. We could have had an extra set of towels though. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay.
The hotel staff from check-in to check-out were all very pleasant. Never had a bad experience at all, would stay here again. Love it!

It was not the cleanest, but there's a Target near by where I bought wipes and wiped everything down, including the balcony. The view was amazing, part of the ocean to the right. It's a shame that they're implementing a 6" open only for the balcony doors because it is 60% of what is so terrific about the room. If you're into shopping, there are a lot of places to go close by, namely the huge mall. The staff are very nice and helpful. I was overcharged the resort fee, but I was refunded after my stay. Luckily, I didn't really need any requests because it's a bit difficult to get in touch with the owners of the rooms. All in all, I would re-book this place (unless the balcony door is permanently closed so you can't sit out).

いろいろな所に行くのに便利な立地、ラナイからの広々とした眺め、過ごしやすい部屋、ほんの少し浴室の自然劣化はありましたがほぼ気にならず、とても心地よい満足のハワイ旅行となりました。帰国の朝、ラナイから大きな虹がすぐ間近のアラモアナパークから海へ移動して行くのを観ることができて感動でした^o^ また、帰国してから、あ!部屋に忘れ物した!とLei Hawaiiさんに連絡した際、親切なご対応でとても安心しました。結局忘れ物はスーツケースの隙間に見つかりまして、Lei Hawaiiさんその節はお騒がせしましたm(_ _)m次回のハワイもぜひよろしくお願いします&

Good location, lovely hotel. A few simple suggestions to make it a 5-star experience: Provide enough coffee for both guests for each night of the stay (we stayed 3 nights - only received 3 single coffees total). Provide enough shampoo, conditioner and body wash or soap for both for each night (we received enough for each for ONE night). It was stressed that the price is lower, so don't expect too much - but seriously! We had to waste precious hours finding a store and shopping for basic needs that any 2 star hotel provides! Provide 2 wine glasses - none in the unit. Provide a clean coffee maker and a microwave that doesn't have the numbers scratched out! And do maintenance to damaged bathroom door, clean the grout and shampoo carpet to eliminate musty smell (I use a c-pap machine and had to move it to on top of the night stand because it was intensifying the moldy odor at the carpet level). The rest of the unit was in good condition.

The property is on at excellant location. The room was pleasant and the view was great. The only negatives is the refrigerator and coffee pot should be replaced. We would definately stay here again.

If you don’t care for room service or having your room cleaned and tended to everyday I definitely recommend going through this rental. It’s just like staying at the hotel. I believe more was provided with this room then a standard hotel room rental.

This is the first time I booked a room through VRBO. Their communication leading up to my arrival was excellent. The room was fine but it would be nice to have had a bed comforter or something more substantial than a blanket. Other than that, it was fine.

I had trouble checking in. The condo's management and the Hotel had bad communication. The Hotel did not or couldn't find the fax from the management team so had no record of the reservation. The management team was prompt answering the after hours phone and called back fairly quick. Was resolved after 45 minutes of waiting. Not fun after hours of travelling

I have been to Ala Moana before. Love everything about it .As you know Lei Hawaii took 2 weeks to refund the money than Ala Moana Hotel should have not charge if Lei Hawaii had paid the fee. 1st day when I arrive the rod of the curtain was broken ,I went to the office the day after and somebody came to fix it and said that it happen all the time. The fridge was totally frozen and make a lot of noise and the bathtub was draining very slow. Now I will wait for Lei Hawaii to send me the $ 300.00 damage deposit. I do not think that I will use Lei Hawaii again. But I love Ala Moana .I have been coming to Hawaii for the past 30 years and more, twice a year for business in Sheraton Waikiki

Amazing island, great place to visit, great wealth super HOT. The hotel was a OK , was not able to go out on the balcony for better view. I was unhappy about there was no FRUITS stand. I wanted to see stand of coconuts, pineapples, sugar canes, mangos and all different kinds of fruits and vegetables.

There was problem with communicating with the host regarding a change in the who would be staying. My daughter had to wait almost an hour to get into her room. This room is very close to the elevators so it could be noisy at times. Otherwise, it was ok.

Staying at the Ala Moana hotel in an individual unit was great for its location and use of all of its amenities. The view was great, the pool was fun, I didn’t use the gym but it was huge and looked nice. The steakhouse, spa and Japanese restaurant in the building were delicious and there were a plethora of great restaurants in the area that could be walked to. My wife and I walked to Waikiki easily and the beach and mall are literally next door. The room was quiet and the view was amazing.
The hiccups that kept this from being perfect were that the room felt a bit old school and the balcony closure. Basically it was just not as nice as I would have thought; One of the set of sheets had a stain on it and the shower-tub was filling up with water during short shower durations. The room could just use a bit of a refresher. But the balcony was my biggest issue. It was in the initial description but was buried under an essay of information so I didn’t actually see it until I got a specific notice of closure a day or 2 before our stay. Basically, we could open the sliding door 4 inches but couldn’t use the balcony at all, which kinda sucks.
Overall, this was a great place to stay and would definitely use this location again if we went back.

No housekeeping because this room is not hotel room its private, can’t use terrace, you got ocean view but from bed, can’t open terrace door, construction 5 days, lot of secret fees. Nice restaurants in hotel. Parking is not free. Amazing location.

Our experience was mixed. The location is great for shopping and eating. Near ala Moana beach park. The room was fairly clean but carpet and fixtures should be updated. We stayed for a week and after one use our towels quickly smelled like mildew, even though we hung them out to dry. We asked for a change of towels and was told they would look into it, but that we could Wash the towels ourselves at the pay washing machines.

There was someone smoking in their room near mine (which is surprising because that is such a safety hazard for the entire building). I would suggest more effort from the front desk to highlight this safety concern during check-in and a more substantial fine. Also, it seems that since owners are renting out some of the units at a more affordable rate, this reflects in the clientele. Otherwise, nice modern, large lobby with plenty of elevators. The location is a bit noisy with Ala Moana Blvd nearby.

This place was clean and cozy. The management team was very responsive and professional. Ala Moana boulevard can be a bit noisy, and the high floor would not be recommended for children. It's a good thing I had my proof of negative covid test on my phone because front desk requested that of me, as well as vaccination proof and government id. I applaud these extra measures as they ensure all occupants safety.

My friend and I stayed at this property at the Ala Moana Hotel for 6 nights and had a great time. We were up early every morning to work and loved that we could catch the sunrise from the balcony. We also fully took advantage of the hotel pool and its proximity to the mall as well as the nearby beaches and tour activities. Keep in mind the room doesn't come with much more than the basics though. Beach towels you can borrow from the hotel pool, but we ended up buying our own beach chairs and umbrellas from Walmart nearby. They also don't clean the room at all during your stay, so we had to be careful to not overload the tiny trash cans in the room with takeout containers and water bottles. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay at this property!

Receptionist at front desk said I booked for 2 nights. I booked and paid for 3 nights. I kept emails from them. She said probably LEI made a mistake and she would check with them. I never received any confirmation about my reservation.
